How does one succeed in life?

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
